DMCA Copyright Policy

Velluto Last updated: 4 июня 2026 г.

Ilia Kazakov ("Velluto") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Services to do the same. This Policy describes how to submit a copyright takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of the United States (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent procedures available in other jurisdictions.

This Policy is part of the Terms of Service.

Scope and applicability. Velluto is not established in the United States; the DMCA itself is U.S. legislation and applies primarily to Output distributed in the U.S. or hosted on U.S. infrastructure. We nonetheless maintain a U.S. Designated Agent and follow the DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure voluntarily because (a) part of our infrastructure (Cloudflare CDN, GitHub releases) operates in the U.S., (b) it provides a clear, predictable channel for rightsholders worldwide, and (c) it preserves Safe Harbor protection under 17 U.S.C. § 512 to the extent that protection is available to us. Rightsholders outside the U.S. may use the same procedure or invoke equivalent local mechanisms; we treat well-founded notices equally regardless of origin.

1. Designated Agent (DMCA)

For notices under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act, our Designated Agent is:

Ilia Kazakov DMCA Agent for Velluto Email: dmca@velluto.io Postal: Ilia Kazakov, Phuoc Long 159, Nha Trang, 650000, Viet Nam

This Designated Agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Directory. We recommend email contact for fastest processing.

2. Submitting a takedown notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a DMCA takedown notice must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of those works.

  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (for example, the URL of the page where the material appears, the file name, the Account email, or a specific generation ID where available).

  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.

  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Send the notice to dmca@velluto.io with subject line "DMCA Takedown — [work title]".

3. Misrepresentation

Section 512(f) of the DMCA imposes liability on any person who knowingly materially misrepresents (a) that material is infringing or (b) that material was removed by mistake. Misrepresentations may result in liability for damages, attorneys' fees, and costs. Submit notices only for material you have a good-faith belief is infringing.

4. Our response

On receipt of a compliant notice we will, where appropriate:

  1. Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material expeditiously.
  2. Notify the affected user that the material has been removed and provide a copy of the takedown notice.
  3. Take reasonable steps to inform the affected user of the counter-notice procedure.

We may also suspend or terminate the Accounts of repeat infringers, per Section 6.

5. Counter-notice procedure

If you are a user whose material has been removed pursuant to a DMCA notice and you believe the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. To be effective, a counter-notice must include substantially the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.

  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled.

  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or an agent of that person.

Send counter-notices to dmca@velluto.io with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice — [work title]".

On receipt of a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the original complaining party. We may restore the removed material after 10 business days unless the complaining party files an action seeking a court order against the user.

6. Repeat infringer policy

We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the Accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. A "repeat infringer" is generally a user who has been the subject of two or more separate, valid DMCA notices over any rolling 12-month period, or who is found by a court to have infringed, or whose conduct otherwise indicates a pattern of infringement.

Termination decisions are made by us in our sole discretion and are not subject to appeal beyond the counter-notice procedure in Section 5.

7. Procedures for other jurisdictions

7.1. European Union and United Kingdom

For copyright complaints from rights holders in the European Union, the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) provides a notice-and-action mechanism. Send notices to dmca@velluto.io including:

  • explanation of why the content is alleged to be illegal;
  • precise electronic location of the content (URL or generation ID);
  • name and contact details of the notifying party (or anonymous where the alleged illegality is image-based sexual abuse);
  • statement of good faith.

We process DSA notices on the same timelines as DMCA notices.

7.2. Other countries

For takedown requests under other national copyright laws, send to legal@velluto.io with the same level of detail and a citation to the legal basis. We respond within 14 days.

7.3. Right-of-publicity and biometric-privacy claims

Claims of violation of right of publicity (including ELVIS Act, California Civil Code §3344), or biometric privacy (BIPA, GDPR Article 9, KZ Personal Data Law), are handled under our Voice Cloning Consent Policy takedown procedure. Send to abuse@velluto.io.

8. Limitations

This Policy does not waive any rights we have under the Terms or applicable law. We reserve the right to refuse or delay action on takedown notices that are abusive, repetitive, or made in bad faith.

9. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. The current version is the version posted on this page.
